US President says he proposed that Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa tackle Hezbollah, citing rising civilian casualties in Israel's operations.
Donald Trump said he urged Israel to allow Syria to handle the Hezbollah issue, praising President Ahmed al-Sharaa's leadership.
US President Donald Trump said Tuesday he had suggested to Israel that Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa should deal with Lebanon's Tehran-backed Hezbollah militia as the Israeli campaign was causing too many casualties.
Praising Sharaa as doing an "amazing job", Trump said at a G7 summit: "If Israel can't do the job (against Hezbollah) without killing everyone else, than he (Sharaa) will do the job. Syria will do the job."
